Caring for the environment  
Disposal of the packing  
material  
Disposal of your old appliance  
Old appliances contain materials which  
can be reclaimed or recycled. Please  
contact your dealer, your waste  
collection centre or scrap merchant  
about potential recycling schemes.  
The transport and protective packing  
has been selected from materials which  
are environmentally friendly for disposal  
and can normally be recycled.  
Make sure that the pipework is not  
damaged whilst moving an old  
appliance. This is to ensure that the  
refrigerant and oil in the compressor  
cannot leak into the environment. It is  
important that they are disposed of in a  
safe manner by authorised persons  
only.  
Rather than just throwing these  
materials away, please ensure they are  
offered for recycling.  
Ensure that any plastic wrappings,  
bags etc. are disposed of safely and  
kept out of the reach of babies and  
young children. Danger of suffocation!  
Ensure that the appliance presents no  
danger to children while being stored  
for disposal.  
See the appropriate section in the  
Warning and safety instructions.

Warning and Safety instructions  
Technical safety  
This appliance complies with all  
relevant legal safety requirements.  
Inappropriate use can however lead  
to personal injury and damage to  
property.  
This appliance contains the coolant  
Isobutane (R600a), a natural gas  
which is very environment friendly.  
Although it is flammable, it does not  
damage the ozone layer and does not  
increase the green house effect. The  
use of this environment friendly coolant  
has, however, led to a slight increase in  
the noise level of the appliance. In  
addition to the noise of the compressor,  
you might be able to hear the coolant  
flowing around the system. This is  
unavoidable, but does not have any  
adverse effect on the performance of  
the appliance.  
Read the operating instructions  
carefully before starting to use this  
appliance. They contain important  
notes on installation, safety,  
operation and care of the appliance.  
This way you will avoid the risk of  
accidents and damage to the  
appliance.  
Keep these operating instructions in  
a safe place and pass them on to  
any future user.  
Care must be taken during  
transportation and setting up of the  
appliance that no parts of the coolant  
system are damaged. Leaking coolant  
can damage the eyes.  
Correct use  
In the event of any damage:  
- avoid open fires  
This appliance is intended for  
domestic use only for the cool  
storage of food and drink as well as for  
storing deep frozen food, freezing fresh  
food and for preparing ice. Any other  
usage is not supported by the  
manufacturer and could be dangerous.  
The manufacturer cannot be held liable  
for damage caused by improper use of  
the appliance.  
and anything which creates a spark,  
- disconnect from the mains,  
- air the room in which the appliance is  
located for several minutes and  
- contact the Service Department  
for advice.  
The more refrigerant there is in an  
appliance, the larger the room it  
should be installed in. In the event of a  
leakage, if the appliance is in a small  
room, there is the danger of  
combustible gases building up.  
For every 8 g of coolant at least 1 m3  
room space is required. The amount of  
coolant in the appliance is stated on the  
data plate inside the appliance.

maritime use or for use in mobile  
installations such as caravans, aircraft  
etc. However it may be suitable for  
such usage subject to a risk  
assessment of the installation being  
carried out by a suitably qualified  
engineer.  
Never handle frozen food with wet  
hands. Your hands may freeze to  
the frozen food. Danger of frost burn.  
Do not take ice cubes out with your  
bare hands and never place ice  
cubes or ice lollies in your mouth  
straight from the freezer.  
The very low temperature of the frozen  
ice or lollies can cause frost burn to the  
lips and tongue.

Warning and Safety instructions  
Do not refreeze thawed or partially  
thawed food. Defrosted food  
should be used up as quickly as  
possible as food soon loses its  
nutritional value and goes off. Defrosted  
food may only be re-frozen after it has  
been cooked.  
Do not use sharp edged objects to  
– remove frost and ice,  
– separate frozen foods and remove  
ice trays.  
They will damage the evaporator  
causing irreversible damage to the  
appliance.  
Do not store explosive materials in  
the appliance or any products  
containing propellants (e.g. spray  
cans). Switching on thermostats may  
produce sparks which could present a  
fire hazard.  
Never place electric heaters or  
candles in the appliance to defrost  
it. These can damage the plastic parts.  
Do not use defrosting sprays, or  
de-icers as they could contain  
substances which could damage the  
plastic parts and which may cause the  
build up of gases and pose a danger to  
health.  
If storing alcohol with a high  
percentage proof, make sure it is  
tightly closed and stored upright.  
Danger of explosion.  
Do not store cans or bottles  
containing carbonated drinks or  
liquids which could freeze in the  
freezer. The cans or bottles could  
explode.  
Danger of injury and damage to the  
appliance.  
Do not use any oils or grease on  
the door seals as these will cause  
the seals to deteriorate and become  
porous with time.  
Do not store cooking oil in the  
appliance door. Traces of oil can  
cause stress cracks to occur in the  
plastic components in the door.  
When cooling drinks quickly in the  
freezer make sure bottles are not  
left in for more than one hour, otherwise  
they could burst. Danger of injury and  
damage to the appliance.  
Do not block the ventilation gaps in  
the appliance as this would impair  
the efficiency of the appliance, increase  
the electricity consumption and could  
cause damage to the appliance.  
Observe the "use by" dates given  
on food to avoid the risk of food  
poisoning.  
Storage times will depend on several  
factors including the freshness and  
quality of the food as well as the  
temperature at which it is stored. Follow  
the instructions given on food  
manufacturer’s packaging on storage  
conditions required as well as the "use  
by" date.

Warning and Safety instructions  
The appliance is designed for a  
Disposal of your old appliance  
use within certain climate ranges  
(ambient temperatures). It must not be  
used in ranges for which it is not  
designed. The climate range for your  
appliance is stated on the data plate  
inside the appliance.  
Installing it in a room with too low an  
ambient temperature will lead to the  
appliance switching off for longer  
periods so that it cannot maintain the  
required temperature.  
Before disposing of an old  
appliance first make the door latch  
or lock unusable.  
This way you will prevent children from  
accidentally locking themselves in and  
endangering their lives.  
Before disposing of an old  
appliance, unplug it and render the  
plug useless. Cut off the cable directly  
behind the appliance and at the plug to  
prevent misuse.  
Never use a steam-cleaning  
appliance to defrost or clean this  
appliance. Pressurised steam could  
reach the electrical components and  
cause a short circuit.  
Be careful not to damage any part  
of the pipework whilst awaiting  
disposal, e.g. by  
– puncturing the refrigerant channels  
in the evaporator.  
In countries where there are areas  
which may be subject to infestation  
by cockroaches or other vermin, pay  
particular attention to keeping the  
appliance and its surrounding in a  
clean condition at all times. Any  
damage which may caused by

The correct temperature  
It is very important to set the correct  
temperature for storing food in the  
appliance. Micro organisms will cause  
food which is not stored at the correct  
temperature to deteriorate rapidly.  
Temperature influences the growth rate  
of these micro organisms. Reducing the  
temperature reduces their growth rate.  
. . . in the freezer  
For freezing fresh food and storing  
frozen food for a long time a  
temperature of at least -18 °C is  
needed. At this temperature the growth  
of micro organisms is generally halted.  
As soon as the temperature rises to  
above -10 °C, the micro organisms  
become active in the food again so that  
it cannot be kept as long. Partially  
defrosted or defrosted food must not be  
re-frozen. Food may be re-frozen once  
it has been cooked as the high  
The temperature in the appliance will  
rise:  
– the more often the door is opened  
and the longer it is kept open,  
– if too much food is stored in it at  
once,  
temperatures achieved when cooking  
destroy most micro organisms.  
– the warmer the food is which is being  
put into it,  
Temperature selection  
The temperatures for the refrigerator  
section and for the freezer section are  
set independently from one another  
using the buttons to the right and left  
hand sides of the temperature displays.  
– the higher the ambient temperature  
surrounding the appliance.  
The appliance is designed for use in  
specific ambient temperatures  
(climate ranges). Do not use in  
ambient temperatures for which it is  
not designed.

Approx. 5 seconds after letting go of  
the button the current actual  
temperature of the refrigerator or  
freezer section is automatically shown.  
^ Press the alarm button for approx. 7  
seconds until a "b" shows in the  
temperature display for the  
refrigerator section and a "0" shows in  
the temperature display for the  
freezer section.  
If you have adjusted the temperature,  
wait for approx. 6 hours if the  
appliance is not very full and for  
approx. 24 hours if the appliance is  
full before checking the temperature  
display as it will take this long for the  
display to show the accurate  
temperature in the appliance. If the  
temperature displayed is too low or too  
high, then adjust the temperature once  
more.  
To adjust the temperature use the  
buttons to the right of the freezer  
section temperature display.  
Press the  
Temperature range  
The temperature can be adjusted:  
Upper button: to raise the temperature  
(it gets warmer)  
Lower button: to reduce the  
temperature (it gets colder)  
– in the refrigerator section from  
4 °C to  
9 °C  
– in the freezer section from  
- 14 °C to  
- 28 °C  
The ambient temperature of the room  
and installation location can affect the  
time it takes to reach the lowest  
temperature. If the ambient temperature  
is too high, then the appliance may not  
be able to reach the lowest  
temperature.  
15  
 
 
The correct temperature  
The temperature is adjustable in steps  
from -5 to +5 and is displayed in the  
freezer section temperature display.  
Each step represents a change in  
temperature of approx. 0.5 to 1 °C. If  
there is a "-" in front of the figure, the  
temperature has been lowered by this  
amount.  
This loss of coldness is no cause for  
concern in the following circumstances:  
– when the door has been left open for  
a while, e.g. for removing or storing a  
large amount of food,  
– when fresh food is being frozen.  
However, if the temperature remains  
above -18 °C for a long time, check that  
the frozen food has not started to  
defrost. If this is the case, check that  
the food is safe to use and if it is, then  
use it as soon as possible.  
^ Press the alarm button briefly.  
The new temperature has now been  
stored in the appliance’s memory.  
The appliance will automatically  
return to normal operation after  
approx. 5 minutes, if you do not  
press any buttons whilst in setting  
mode.  
Temperature display brightness  
The appliance is supplied with the  
brightness of the temperature display  
set as low as possible. However, if the  
door is opened, a setting changed or if  
the alarm is sounding, the temperature  
display will appear much brighter for  
approx. 1 minute.  
Temperature displays  
During normal operation the  
temperature display on the control  
panel shows the temperature in the  
middle of the refrigerator section and  
the temperature in the warmest part of  
the freezer section.  
The level of brightness can be adjusted  
to be:  
Brighter: by pressing the alarm  
button, and whilst holding it in press  
the upper button next to the  
temperature display for the freezer  
section.  
If the temperature in the appliance is  
not within the range that the appliance  
is able to display (i.e. if it is not between  
0 °C and 19 °C in the refrigerator  
section, and if the temperature in the  
freezer section is above 0 °C), then only  
a bar will light up in the temperature  
displays.  
Dimmer: by pressing the alarm  
button, and whilst holding it in press  
the lower button next to the  
temperature display for the freezer  
section.  
The temperature displays flash, if  
– a different temperature is being set,  
– the temperature in the appliance has  
risen by several degrees, indicating  
that the appliance is warming up too  
much.  
16  
 
 
Alarm  
Your appliance has been fitted with a  
warning system which ensures that the  
temperature in the freezer section  
cannot rise unnoticed. It is always  
active. If the temperature in the freezer  
gets too warm an alarm will sound and  
the temperature display for the freezer  
section will flash. The temperature the  
appliance is set at determines the  
temperature the appliance recognises  
as being too warm.  
Switching the alarm tone off  
early  
Once the set temperature has been  
reached in the freezer section, the  
alarm tone stops and the temperature is  
displayed constantly. However, if the  
noise disturbs you, you can turn the  
alarm tone off before this if you wish.  
The alarm will sound and the  
temperature display will flash:  
– when the freezer is switched on.  
^ Press the alarm button. The alarm  
stops. The temperature display  
continues to flash until the set  
temperature has been reached. It  
then lights up constantly. It does not  
go out until the set temperature range  
has been reached.  
– when the freezer section door has  
been left open for a while, e.g. in  
order to load, to re-arrange or to take  
food out.  
– when freezing large amounts of food.  
– when there has been a lengthy  
interruption to the power supply.

as possible. This way the nutritional  
value of the food, its vitamin content,  
appearance and taste are not impaired.  
Food which takes a long time to freeze  
will lose more water from its cells which  
then shrink.  
Switching on super cool  
Super cool is particularly  
recommended for faster chilling of  
large amounts of fresh food or drink.  
During the defrosting process only  
some of this water is reabsorbed by the  
cells. The rest collects around the food.  
In practice this means that the food  
loses a large degree of its moisture.  
If food is frozen quickly the cells have  
less time to lose moisture so they shrink  
less. As there is not so much moisture,  
it is easier for the food to reabsorb it  
during the defrosting process. There  
will be very little water around the  
defrosted food.  
^ Press the super cool button, the  
super cool indicator light will come  
on.  
The appliance works at full power to  
lower the temperature in the  
refrigerator section.  
Super freeze is not necessary:  
– when putting in frozen food.  
Switching off super cool  
– when freezing up to 2 kg fresh food  
daily.  
The super cool function switches itself  
off automatically after approx. 6 hours.  
The indicator light goes out and the  
appliance continues running at normal  
power.  
To save energy the super cool function  
can be switched off once food and  
drinks are sufficiently chilled.

freeze indicator light will go out and the  
appliance will continue running at  
normal power.  
When freezing small quantities of food  
in the freezer, the super freeze function  
should be switched on 4 - 6 hours  
beforehand. When freezing the

containing propellants (e.g. spray  
cans). Danger of explosion.  
If storing alcohol with a high  
percentage proof, make sure it is  
tightly closed, and store upright.  
Warmest area  
Do not store cooking oil in the  
refrigerator door.  
Traces of oil can cause stress  
cracks to occur in the plastic  
components in the door.  
The warmest area is in the top section  
of the door. Use this for storing butter  
and cheese.  
Coldest area  
Food must not touch the back wall of  
the appliance. Otherwise it may  
freeze to the back wall.  
The coldest area in the refrigerator  
section is normally directly above the  
vegetable containers. In this appliance,  
however, the coldest area is in the  
Stayfresh (0 °C) zone.  
Stayfresh (0 °C) zone  
A temperature of between 0 - 3 °C  
combined with a high humidity level  
provides the optimum storage  
conditions for fresh food, enabling it to  
be kept fresher for longer than in the  
refrigerator section.  
Use the coldest areas in the refrigerator  
section and in the Stayfresh (0 °C)  
zone for all delicate and highly  
perishable food, e.g.  
– fish, meat, poultry,  
The freshness of food when first placed  
in the appliance is an important factor  
in determining how long it stays fresh.  
Bear this in mind when shopping.  
– sausage products, ready meals,  
– dishes or baked goods containing  
eggs or cream  
– fresh dough, cake mixtures, pizza or  
quiche dough,  
The temperature in the Stayfresh (0 °C)  
zone is automatically held at approx.  
0 °C.  
– soft cheese and other dairy  
products,  
– pre-packed vegetables and other  
fresh food with a label stating it  
should be kept at a minimum  
temperature of 4 °C.

Storing food correctly  
Different types of unpacked meats  
and vegetables must be kept  
separate.  
Store food covered or packaged. This  
will prevent food smells or tastes from  
affecting other foods and prevent food  
from drying out. The growth of bacteria,  
such as salmonella, can be avoided by  
setting the correct temperature and  
maintaining good standards of hygiene.  
To avoid any microbiological cross  
contamination these foods may only be  
stored together if they are wrapped.  
Protein rich foods  
Please note that foods rich in protein  
deteriorate faster than others.  
Shell fish for example deteriorates  
faster than fish, and fish deteriorates  
faster than meat.  
Fruit and vegetables  
Fruit and vegetables can be stored  
loose in the vegetable containers.  
However, you should bear in mind that  
some types of fruit and vegetables give  
off a natural gas which speeds up the  
rate at which food perishes. Some fruit  
and vegetables react stongly to this  
gas and should not be stored together  
in the vegetable containers.  
Meat  
Store meat in suitable containers, but  
uncovered in the low humidity  
compartment. (Undo wrappings and  
leave containers open.) The surface of  
the meat will dry out slightly and protect  
it from bacterial growth thus increasing  
its storage qualities. To prevent the risk  
of bacterial contamination keep meat  
stored in suitable containers and do not  
let different types of meat come into  
direct contact with each other.  
Examples of fruit which produce a  
large amount of this natural gas are:  
Apples, apricots, pears, nectarines,  
peaches, plums, avocado pears and  
figs.  
Examples of fruit and vegetables  
which react strongly to the natural  
gases given off by other types of fruit  
and vegetables are:  
Take food out of the Stayfresh (0 °C)  
zone approx. 30 - 60 minutes before  
using it. The aroma and taste do not  
fully develop until the food has  
reached room temperature.  
Kiwis, broccoli, cauliflower, brussels  
sprouts, mangos, honeydew melons,  
apples, apricots, cucumbers, tomatoes,  
pears, nectarines and peaches.

Using the refrigerator section efficiently  
Energy saving tips  
– Frequently opening the door or  
keeping it open for too long will  
cause the temperature in the  
appliance to rise. The appliance will  
have to run more often in order to  
maintain the cool temperature inside  
the appliance. Only open the door  
when you need to and then only for  
as long as necessary.  
– If you organise where you store your  
food correctly you should be able to  
find things quickly and easily without  
allowing the temperature in the  
appliance to rise. Sort the food out  
carefully before putting it into the  
appliance.  
– Hot food and drinks must be cooled  
to room temperature before placing  
them in the appliance.  
– Do not store groceries too close to  
each other. Space should be left  
between individual items for air to  
circulate.

^ Pull the shelves forward as far as  
they will go then lift them upwards to  
remove them.  
^ Replace the door shelf at the  
required position. Ensure that it is  
securely pushed back into position.  
^ With the rear barrier facing upwards  
place the shelf at the required  
position.  
The rear barrier must face upwards to  
prevent food from touching the back  
of the appliance and freezing to it.  
Moving the bottle divider  
The bottle divider can be moved to the  
left or right to ensure that bottles are  
held securely in position when the door  
is opened and shut.  
Split shelf  
Stayfresh (0 °C) zone  
compartments  
(depending on model)  
^ When loading and unloading items,  
pull the compartment right out by  
taking hold of it at the back and lifting  
it up to remove it.  
In order to accommodate tall items in  
the appliance one of the shelves is  
divided. The front half of the shelf can  
be pushed carefully under the rear half.  
Tall items can then be placed on the  
shelf below.  
^ To put it back in, pull the runners a  
right out and place the compartment  
on top of the runners. The front of  
the runners must be right up  
against the front of the

exceeded. The maximum freezing  
capacity for freezing within a 24 hour  
period is given on the data plate  
"Freezing capacity ....kg/24 hrs".  
– The following types of food are  
suitable for freezing:  
Fresh meat, poultry, game, fish,  
vegetables, herbs, fresh fruit, dairy  
products, pastry, leftovers, egg  
yolks, egg whites and a range of  
pre-cooked meals.  
Storing frozen food  
When buying frozen food to store in  
your freezer check  
– The following types of food are not  
suitable for freezing:  
– that the packaging is not damaged,  
– the use by date,  
Grapes, lettuces, radishes, sour  
cream, mayonnaise, eggs in their  
shells, onions, whole raw apples and  
pears.  
– the temperature at which the frozen  
food is being stored in the shop. The  
length of time it can be kept is

washed. To blanch: bring a large  
saucepan of water to the boil,  
immerse the vegetables in the fast  
boiling water for 2-3 minutes,  
depending on variety. Remove and  
cool quickly in cold water. Drain and  
pack ready for freezing.  
^ Buy frozen food once you have  
finished the rest of your shopping  
and wrap it in newspaper or use a  
cool bag or box to transport it.  
^ Store it in the freezer as soon as  
possible.  
– Lean meat freezes better than fatty  
meat and can be stored for  
considerably longer.  
Never re-freeze partially or fully  
defrosted food. Consume defrosted  
food as soon as possible as it will  
lose its nutritional value and spoil if  
left for too long. Defrosted food may  
only be re-frozen after it has been  
cooked.  
To prevent chops, steaks, cutlets or  
rolled meat from freezing together in  
solid blocks when packed, separate  
with a sheet of plastic freezer film.

freezing. Only season cooked food  
lightly before freezing but care  
should be taken as the taste of some  
spices alters when frozen.  
Before placing food in the freezer  
^ When freezing more than 2 kg of  
fresh food, switch on the super freeze  
function for some time before placing  
the food in the freezer (see "Super  
freeze").  
– Do not place hot foods or drinks in  
the freezer. This causes already  
frozen food to thaw and increases  
the energy consumption  
considerably. Allow hot foods and  
drinks to cool down before placing  
them in the freezer.  
Placing food in the freezer  
Food to be frozen can be placed  
anywhere in the freezer. Large  
quantities can be placed directly on the  
separator shelf to freeze the food  
quickly. To do this first take out the  
upper or middle freezer drawer. The  
lowest freezer drawer must always  
remain in the appliance.  
Packing  
Unsuitable packing material  
- wrapping paper  
- grease-proof paper  
- cellophane  
- bin bags  
- plastic carrier bags  
Each drawer and separator shelf  
can be loaded with a maximum of  
25 kg.  
Suitable packing material  
- plastic freezer film  
- freezer bags  
- aluminium foil  
- freezer containers.  
If you remove the upper freezer  
drawer make sure that you do not  
cover the ventilation holes in the rear  
wall of the appliance. They are  
important for trouble-free operation  
of the appliance.  
^ Freeze food in portions.  
^ Expel as much air as possible from  
bags etc. before sealing them to  
prevent freezer burn on food.  
^ Make sure that the packaging and  
containers are dry to prevent them  
sticking together when frozen.  
^ Close the packaging tightly with  
- rubber bands  
- plastic clips  
- string or bag ties  
- freezer tape  
When freezing, make sure that food  
already frozen does not come into  
contact with fresh food being frozen  
as this could cause the frozen food  
to begin to defrost.  
Freezer bags may also be sealed  
using home heat sealing kits.

Use the markers to indicate the type of  
food being frozen and turn the dials to  
the appropriate number to indicate the  
month the food was first placed in the  
freezer.  
To put the separator shelf back in, push  
it back into place making sure it audibly  
clicks into position.  
Freezer calendar  
The freezer calendar on the freezer  
drawer gives the length of time which  
various foods can be stored for  
effectively.  
Defrosting  
Frozen food can be defrosted in  
different ways:  
– in the microwave oven,  
Where the storage time given on the  
packaging differs, follow the advice on  
the packaging.  
– in the oven using the "Fan" or  
"Defrost" setting,  
– at room temperature,  
– in the fridge.  
27  
 
 
Freezing and storing food  
Poultry It is particularly important to  
observe food hygiene rules when  
defrosting poultry. Do not use the liquid  
from defrosted poultry. Pour it away and  
wash the container it was in, the sink  
and your hands.  
^ Once frozen, use a blunt instrument,  
for example a spoon handle, to  
remove the ice tray from the freezer.  
^ Ice cubes can be removed easily  
from the tray by holding it under cold  
running water for a short while.  
Fruit should be defrosted at room  
temperature in its packing or in a  
covered bowl.  
Cooling drinks  
Drinks are best cooled quickly in the  
refrigerator section using the Super  
cool function. If bottles are, however,  
placed in the freezer for rapid cooling,  
make sure bottles are not left in the  
freezer for more than one hour, as they  
could burst.  
Most vegetables can be cooked while  
still frozen. Just put straight into boiling  
water or hot fat. The cooking time is  
slightly less than that of fresh  
vegetables.  
Never re-freeze partially or fully  
defrosted food. Consume defrosted  
food as soon as possible as it will  
lose its nutritional value and spoil if  
left for too long. Defrosted food may  
only be re-frozen after it has been  
cooked.  
Freezer tray  
The freezer tray is useful for freezing  
small items such as berries and  
vegetables. They can be frozen  
individually and therefore maintain their  
shape when defrosted.  
Ice cubes  
^ Space the food out loosely on the  
tray.  
^ Press down the release button on the  
ice cube tray and fill the tray with wa-  
ter. Any excess will flow out through  
the outlet.  
^ Hang the tray in one of the upper  
freezer drawers.  
^ Now pull the release button up to  
seal the ice cube tray. Place the tray  
on the bottom of one of the freezer  
drawers.  
Leave food for 10 - 12 hours to freeze  
thoroughly on the tray. Transfer it to a  
freezer bag or suitable container once  
frozen. Place the bag or container in  
the freezer drawer.  
28  
 
 
Freezing and storing food  
Cool pack  
The cool pack prevents the  
temperature in the freezer rising too  
quickly in the event of a power cut.  
Place the cool pack in the upper  
drawer directly on top of food or to save  
space on the freezer tray. The cool  
pack will be at its most effective after it  
has been in the freezer for approx. 24  
hours.  
If there is a power cut lay the cool pack  
directly on top of the frozen food in the  
upper drawer so that the food will be  
kept cold for as long as possible.  
When placing fresh food in the freezer,  
use the cool pack to separate the fresh  
food from the food which is already  
frozen so that the frozen food does not  
begin to thaw.  
The cool pack can also be used in a  
cool bag to keep food or drinks cool for  
a short period of time.  
29  
 
 
Defrosting  
Refrigerator section and  
Stayfresh (0 °C) zone  
Freezer section  
This freezer is equipped with a  
"No-frost" system. The freezer defrosts  
automatically.  
Condensate and frost can build up on  
the back wall of the refrigerator section  
and the Stayfresh (0 °C) zone whilst in  
use. These are automatically removed  
and defrosted by the appliance.  
The moisture generated by defrosting  
collects in the condensor and is  
automatically dissipated by the  
condensor from time to time.  
The condensate is drained away via a  
channel and drain hole into an  
evaporation system at the back of the  
appliance.  
This enables the freezer section to  
remain permanently ice-free while the  
food remains frozen. Food stored in the  
freezer will not defrost in the freezer.  
Ensure that the condensate channel  
and drain hole are kept clean and  
are never blocked so that  
condensate can flow away without  
hindrance.  
30  
 
 
Cleaning and care  
Cleaning the outer casing, the  
interior and accessories  
Never use cleaning agents  
containing abrasive substances  
such as sand, soda, acids or  
chemical solvents.  
"Non-abrasive" cleaning agents are  
also unsuitable as they can cause  
matt areas to appear.  
Clean the appliance at least once a  
month, using warm water with a little  
washing up liquid. Accessories,  
shelves and drawers should be hand  
washed only. Do not wash in a  
dishwasher. The butter dish is, however,  
dishwasher safe.  
For stainless steel surfaces, use a  
proprietary stainless steel cleaning  
agent.  
^ Clean the condensate channel and  
drain hole frequently, so that  
condensate can drain away  
unhindered. Use a straw or similar to  
clear the drain if necessary.  
Make sure that no water can  
penetrate into the electronic unit or  
into the light.  
^ Clean stainless steel surfaces with a  
suitable cleaning agent.  
Do not let water get into the  
drainage channel and drain hole  
when cleaning.  
^ After cleaning, wipe the outer casing,  
the interior and accessories with a  
damp cloth and dry with a soft cloth.  
Leave the doors open to air the  
appliance for a short while.  
Do not use steam cleaning  
apparatus to clean the appliance.  
Pressurised steam could reach the  
electrical components and cause a  
short circuit.  
E-Cloth  
^ A microfibre "E-Cloth" is available  
from the Miele UK Spare Parts  
Department, Part Number 980 13530,  
which is suitable for cleaning  
surfaces such as stainless steel,  
glass, plastic and chrome without the  
use of chemicals.  
The data plate located inside the  
appliance must not be removed. It  
contains information which is  
required in the event of a service  
call.  
Before cleaning  
If you are unsure about a particular  
product or need further advice  
please contact your nearest Miele  
Sales office. See back page for  
address.  
^ Switch the appliance off by pressing  
both On-Off switches and remove the  
plug.  
^ Take any food out of the appliance  
and store it in a cool place.  
^ Take out any removable parts e.g.  
shelves for cleaning.  
31  
 
 
Cleaning and care  
Ventilation grilles  
After cleaning  
^ The ventilation grilles should be  
cleaned regularly with a brush or  
vacuum cleaner. A build-up of dust  
will increase the appliance's energy  
consumption.  
^ Replace all shelves and accessories  
in the refrigerator section and the  
StayFesh zone.  
^ Place food back in the refrigerator  
section and the StayFresh zone,  
close the appliance doors, and  
switch the refrigerator section and  
the freezer section on.  
Door seals  
Do not use any grease or oil on the  
door seals as these will cause the  
seals to deteriorate and become  
porous over time.  
^ Switch on the super freeze function  
so that the freezer section can cool  
down quickly. The super freeze  
indicator light will come on.  
The door seals should be cleaned  
regularly with clean water and then  
wiped dry with a soft cloth.  
^ Once the temperature in the freezer  
has reached the required  
temperature place the food back in  
the freezer drawers and place them  
back in the freezer.  
Metal grille at the back of the  
appliance  
^ Switch off the super freeze function  
by pressing the super freeze button.  
The indicator light will go out.  
The metal grille at the back of the  
appliance (heat exchanger) should be  
dusted at least once a year. A build-up  
of dust will increase the energy  
consumption of the appliance.  
When cleaning the grille, make sure  
that the pipework and other  
components do not get broken or  
damaged in any way.

unstable or knocking against each  
other?  
Repairs to electrical appliances  
should only be carried out by a  
suitably qualified and competent  
person in accordance with local and  
national safety regulations. Repairs

Installation  
Operating in a room which is too cold  
will cause the cooling system to switch  
off for too long causing the internal  
temperature in the appliance to rise  
with the risk of food deteriorating and  
going off.  
Appliances without side wall heating  
must not be installed "side-by-side"  
next to another refrigerator or  
freezer.  
Location  
Ventilation  
It should not be installed where it is  
exposed to direct sunlight or directly  
adjacent to a heat-producing appliance  
such as an oven or a radiator. The  
appliance should be installed in a dry  
well ventilated room.  
The room temperature should not go  
above or below the climate range for  
which the appliance is designed. The  
higher the ambient temperature of the  
room the more energy the appliance  
requires to operate.  
Air at the rear of the appliance gets  
warm. To ensure sufficient ventilation  
the ventilation gaps must not be  
covered over. The air inlet and outlet  
must not be covered or blocked in any  
way. They should be dusted on a  
regular basis.  
Fitting the handles  
If the door hinging does not require  
changing the handles should now be  
fitted to the appliance doors.  
Do not place any appliance which  
gives off heat, such as a toaster or  
microwave oven on top of this  
appliance, as this would increase  
the appliance's energy  
consumption.  
Climate range  
The appliance is designed for a use  
within certain climate ranges (ambient  
temperatures) and should not be used  
outside this range. The climate range of  
this appliance is stated on the data

Building in the appliance  
The air inlet and outlet must not be  
covered or blocked in any way.  
They should be dusted on a regular  
basis.  
When built into a kitchen run (max.  
depth 580 mm) the appliance can be  
installed directly next to a kitchen  
furniture housing unit. The appliance  
door b will protrude in front of furniture  
fronts at the sides by 34 mm and by 51  
mm in the middle of the door. This will  
allow the doors to be opened and shut  
without being obstructed.  
When installed next to a wall c a gap  
of approx. 36 mm is needed on the  
hinge side between the wall and the  
appliance, so that the doors and the  
handles have sufficient space for  
opening.  
The appliance can be installed in a  
kitchen run. To match the height of the  
rest of the kitchen, the appliance can  
be fitted with a suitable top box a.  
When securing to adjoining furniture  
d or if a spacer bar is fitted between  
the appliance and the wall, please note  
the following:  
A ventilation gap of at least 50 mm  
depth must be allowed for behind the  
appliance for air to circulate.  
^ Ensure that the doors have sufficient  
space for opening fully after the  
appliance has been secured.  
The cross section of the air outlet under  
the room ceiling must be at least  
300 cm2 to ensure that air can circulate  
without hindrance. Otherwise the  
appliance has to work too hard  
resulting in an increase in electricity  
consumption. The larger the cross  
section, the more efficient the  
appliance.  
^ Do not drill within the area marked  
with criss cross pattern as this  
would damage insulated parts of the  
appliance.  
^ To secure the appliance to adjoining  
kitchen furniture use self-tapping  
screws. The depth of the screw must  
not exceed 10 mm. See small  
illustration.
